Biomaterials for Hemostasis and Wound Healing Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Effective control of bleeding and promotion of wound healing remain critical challenges in trauma care, surgery, military medicine, and chronic wound management. This Special Issue highlights recent advances in biomaterials developed for hemostasis and wound healing, spanning fundamental research, translational technologies, and clinical applications. We invite contributions to the design and characterization of hemostatic agents, wound dressings, tissue adhesives, bioactive scaffolds, and multifunctional materials with antimicrobial or immunomodulatory properties, etc.

This issue is situated within a rapidly evolving field where material design intersects with cellular biology, biomechanics, bioelectronics, and regenerative medicine. While traditional wound care materials are well studied, emerging technologies that actively modulate coagulation, immune responses, and healing—or integrate real-time sensing, modeling, and therapeutic delivery—represent a new frontier. We aim to showcase interdisciplinary innovations that address unmet clinical needs in acute and chronic wounds, surgical bleeding, and battlefield injuries.

Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and perspectives are encouraged. We look forward to your contributions to this exciting and impactful topic.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Functional Biomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
